Hillary Clinton Backs Obama On Iran Agreement

[still_one]

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton issued a statement in support of the framework for a nuclear agreement with Iran on Thursday evening, saying that a "high bar" must be set for a final deal and that Iran "can never be permitted to acquire a nuclear weapon."

Clinton, who said during the 2008 election that then-Sen. Barack Obama's willingness to meet with Iran without precondition was "irresponsible and frankly naive," praised Obama and Secretary of State John Kerry for their work on the deal.

"The understanding that the major world powers have reached with Iran is an important step toward a comprehensive agreement that would prevent Iran from getting a nuclear weapon and strengthen the security of the United States, Israel, and the region," she said in the statement. "Getting the rest of the way to a final deal by June won't be easy, but it is absolutely crucial. I know well that the devil is always in the details in this kind of negotiation."

[Thinkingabout]

1. Things has changed since 2008, Iran has had more years under sanctions and the Iranian

people are ready for the sanctions to be lifted. Hopefully more changes are to come. It has taken the Obama administration to start rebuilding relationships around the world, Hillary is needed to continue this process.

2. Absolutely agreed. Having a Democratic President all be guaranteesd in the WH for 8 more years is as much a cause

for celebration for liberals as it is of great teeth gnashing and propaganda by the horse race loving corporate media...what about all that CU money raining down on them?

4. All the progress made in spite of constant obstacles, only highlights how important 2016 is

3. Sounds as though she's decided to run as a Democrat...

...or not at all.

Good to see her take a preliminary stand.

5. She has been a Democrat as long as I have been, she has been an advocate for DNC issues

for many years despite of what some here would want you to believe.
